Produced by Jan Bradley
The 3 performances were sold out as soon as the tickets were available. A special performance / second dress rehearsal was arranged on the Wednesday for members of local WI groups and some drama group supporters who had been unable to obtain tickets were allowed to attend the first dress rehearsal on Tuesday.
The play was acclaimed as one of the best that BDG had done and the enjoyment of the audience and cast was evident. Jan Bradley had directed the play with her usual flair and the experienced cast were able to interpret their characters to their best advantage. The week of the play co-incided with the start of summer and the hall was unbearably hot by the end of the evening. Fortunately the bar was able to provide liquid cooling to alleviate the situation.
